It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. At 81 m² this is the 15th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–172 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band.

Today's modelled estimate of £194,000 is 13.8% below the 2004 sale of £225,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. Held since April 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 81 m² it's 28.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 71 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
